TV and internet were spotty; fine most times, but not suitable for work. Then again, you're on holiday! Mattresses were a bit worn. Otherwise a clean and comfortable home base from which to explore the region.
This house was perfect for two couples. It was in a nice quiet residential area and central to every place we wanted to venture to. Blarney castle right down the road. Had a rainy afternoon and decided to stay in, cook a meal, and relax with the TV. Grocery store right nearby, and highly recommend The Barn Gastropub for a meal. Won't be disappointed!
Jeremy, our host, was incredibly responsive to our questions and needs. The property is a lovely and charming home. We enjoyed the spacious rooms, and beautiful home. It is in a great location with easy and quick access to Cork.
Very clean house, short drive to city, and check-in/out process was very easy

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
The place had a king and a double ,not comfortable for 2 couples. There was cooking oven available, no oven mitts? Towels but not towel bars? No dishcloth to wipe in the kitchen. No where to hang anything, coats or clothes. If the price point was lower it would have seemed reasonable, as is not so.
Overall this was a great place to stay. The entrance to the property is slightly difficult to navigate and the hot water does not heat the upstairs showers, but other than that it was clean, comfortable and safe.
Close to everything. Very handy that there was a washing machine and a rack to hang clothes. Many parking. Check in and check out super easy. I would recommend this place
Jeremy was very responsive with communications. The house was very clean and well located for our day trips. Thank you Jeremy for your recommendations on places to visit and eat!
The cottage was a great place to stay while we visited Cork. It had all of the essentials we needed and was located close to attractions and restaurants.
We had a quick stay here during our honeymoon. The location was perfect for when we went to the St Patrick’s Day Parade, only 10 minute drive! The house was the perfect size and provided all the amenities we needed. After staying in multiple hotels, it was nice to have a whole house to utilize, even if just for a short period. The check in/check out process was an absolute breeze!
This house is in a very quiet neighborhood just outside of Cork. It had all the amenities that we needed and was a quieter alternative to staying in the city. Just a quick drive to both the city center and to Blarney Castle.
